Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a snow removing device for removing snow by being pulled by an automobile or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A bulldozer type snowplow is generally used to remove snow accumulated on a road. However, this snowplow is expensive and is not always suitable for removing snow on narrow mountain roads.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the demand for an inexpensive snow removing device which can be handled easily and inexpensively, the present invention provides such a snow removing device.

[0004]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a snow removing device.
It is composed of a hoe-shaped hoe body, and the hoe body is formed to be rotatable, and it has an angle adjustment mechanism that can adjust the angle of formation with the V-shaped hoe body, so it can handle various road widths it can.
Further, the angle adjusting mechanism provided in the snow removing device of claim 2 is:
An adjusting cylinder is provided on a pair of hoe bodies, and is constituted by an angle adjusting rod that can be inserted into the adjusting cylinder, so that depending on which adjusting cylinder the angle adjusting rod is inserted into, the road width can be easily adjusted. Can respond. In the snow removing device of the third aspect, since the storage cylinder body into which the angle adjusting rod can be inserted is provided in the hoe body, the angle adjusting rod can be stored.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 (A) is a plan view, FIG. 2 (B) is a front view of a hoe body, FIG. (C) is a side view of the hoe body,
FIG. 3 is a plan cross-sectional view of the joint between the hoe body 1a and the joint 5 (A to
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of FIG.

Reference numerals 1 (1a, 1b) denote hoe bodies for separating snow. The hoe bodies 1a, 1b will be described later in detail. Used in V-shaped form. Also, this hoe body 1a,
1b is a long plate-like member having an S-shaped cross section, and it is preferable to use a metal plate having an outer lower part having an inner convex shape 2 in order to separate snow, and a metal circle at a lower end part. The rod 3 is welded to improve durability.

Next, the foldable structure of the hoe bodies 1a and 1b will be described. The tip of the hoe body 1a is welded to the connecting body 5 in a V-shape. In addition, this conjugate 5
The hoe body 1b (1a) is a short cut of the hoe body 1b.
Is added to enable rotation. A ring 20 is welded to the joint between the hoe body 1a and the joint body 5 via a cord so that the ring 20 can be pulled by an automobile. Also, the hoe body 1a and the combined body 5
In the lower part of the connecting portion (the tip of the metal round bar 3), a countermeasure is taken so that the inclined portion 3a formed in an upwardly inclined shape does not bump into the unevenness of the road.

A pair of upper and lower support plates 5a and 5b are welded to the inside of the combined body 5, and the support plates 5a and 5b
The support cylinder 6 is fixed to oppose between b. On the other hand, an L-shaped rib 7 is welded to the inside of the hoe body 1 via a reinforcing plate 8. A rotatable rotator 9 is inserted into the support cylinder 6 to form a so-called hinge, and the rotator 9 and the rib 7 are connected to each other. Therefore, the hoe body 1b
Is rotatable via a hinge constituted by the support cylinder 6 and the rotating body 9, and when stored, the shape of the hoe 1 a and the hoe 1 b can be substantially combined. still,
The hoe body 1b is configured to be rotatable.
a may also be configured to be rotatable.

[0009] Inside the hoe body 1b, a cylindrical storage cylinder 11 (1) is mounted on the left and right so that an angle adjusting rod 10 described later can be inserted therein.
1a, 11b) are attached to store the angle adjusting rod 10 when not in use. In addition, this angle adjustment rod 1
0, for example, is formed such that L-shaped bent portions 10a are formed at both ends of the pipe, and the bent portions 10a can be inserted into the storage cylinder 11 and an adjustment cylinder 12 described later.

On the inner side of the hoe body 1a, an angle adjusting mechanism capable of adjusting the angle of a V-shape formed by the hoe body 1a and the hoe body 1b is provided on the hoe body 1a. The cylindrical adjusting cylinder 12 (12a, 12b) into which the
The V-shaped hoe bodies 1a and 1b are provided at two positions for angle adjustment. The adjusting cylinder 12 is provided inside the hoe body 1b.
The storage cylinder 11 is also used. Therefore, the bent portion 10a of the angle adjustment rod is inserted into the storage cylinder 11a, and the other end is inserted into any of the adjustment cylinders 12 (12a, 12b). It can respond to the angle adjustment of the formed V-shape, that is, the road width. The number of the adjusting cylinders 12 and the lengths of the hoes 1a and 1b are appropriately selected as long as they can correspond to various road widths.

As another configuration of the angle adjusting mechanism, for example, the angle adjusting rod 10 is a flat plate, and the hoe bodies 1a and 1b are provided with protrusions (not shown) and bolt holes are formed in the protrusions. Or the like, in which the flat plate is fixed to the protruding body with bolts, that is, the angle adjusting rod is laterally provided between the hoe body 1a and the hoe body 1b, or between the combined body 5 and the hoe body 1b. It is sufficient that the angle of the V-shape formed by the hoe bodies 1a and 1b can be adjusted.

Next, the use of the snow removal equipment will be described. (1) When Using Snow Removal Equipment First, when the hoe body 1b is moved so as to be separated from the hoe body 1a, the hoe body 1b is rotated through the hinge to open. Next, the bent portion 10a of the angle adjusting rod 10 is
1 (11a), the bent portion 10a at the other end is inserted into one of the adjusting cylinders 12 (12a, 12b) in consideration of the road width, so that the hoe body 1a and the hoe body 1b are formed in a V-shape. Open. Then, by passing the strings through the ring 20 and binding them to the rear of the car with the two strings open, and running the car,
With the two strings in the opened state, the V-shaped snow removing device does not meander, and the snow can be separated by the hoe body 1a and the hoe body 1b, and the snow on the road can be removed.

(2) When storing without using snow removal equipment First, the bent portions 10a, 10a of the angle adjusting rod 10 are inserted into the storage cylinders 11 (11a, 11b), and then the hoe body 1b is connected to the hoe body. When the hoe body 1b is moved to the side 1a, the hoe body 1b can be rotated and fitted via the hinge. The snow removing device in this state does not have a V-shape at the time of use, but has a reduced thickness and requires less storage space.

As described above, the snow removing device of the present invention requires no space when stored, can be adjusted to various road widths when used, and has a simple structure capable of removing snow by being pulled by a car. It is a device.

[0015]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the hoe body is formed to be rotatable, it can easily cope with various road widths. In addition, the snow removing device according to the second aspect can easily cope with the road width depending on which adjusting cylinder the angle adjusting rod is inserted into. In the snow removing device of the third aspect, since the storage cylinder body into which the angle adjusting rod can be inserted is provided in the hoe body, the angle adjusting rod can be stored.
